Case-IH CVX 120 or Massey Ferguson MF 6465 A?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the CVX 120 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the MF 6465 A has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Case-IH CVX 120 suits road haulage better on this data: 19% (1,700 kg / 3,748 lb) more maximum permissible mass.
Generated by rule set compare@4 from the figures on the side-by-side table, allowed by route “the same stated configuration”. Measured figures are compared only with measured, claimed only with claimed, at the same test condition; differences within each figure’s tolerance are not called.

What does this mean in plain words?
- The Case-IH CVX 120 is 26% heavier (1,300 kg / 2,866 lb) than the Massey Ferguson 6465A (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Case-IH CVX 120 has 19% higher maximum permissible mass (1,700 kg / 3,748 lb) than the Massey Ferguson 6465A (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source).
- Transmissions differ in kind: the Case-IH CVX 120 is stepless (CVT) and the Massey Ferguson 6465A has 24 to 32 forward gears — not called.
- Even on top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Even on PTO speeds: the same speeds (540, 1000 rpm).
- Even on PTO independence: every PTO is independent.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Same era: production began within 5 years of each other. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the CVX 120 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the MF 6465 A has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- Not comparable on three-point lift: the CVX 120: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Case-IH CVX120”); the MF 6465 A: lift through the full range at an unstated point, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Massey Ferguson MF 6465”) — not the same quantity, basis and condition.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, hydraulic flow and a creeper range.
